What are the main reasons for college students' employment difficulties?

In addition to the contradiction between supply and demand caused by the epidemic situation in COVID-19, the structural mismatch between the job demand of employers and the ability and expectation of college students is the main reason for the current employment difficulties of college students.

According to reports, the structural mismatch of college students' employment is mainly reflected in six aspects: geographical opportunity and mobility intention, academic qualifications and academic structure, ability requirements and professional background, enterprise nature and employment preference, industry demand and job hunting enthusiasm, job gap and career choice.

In response to the above-mentioned "mismatch" phenomenon, the report pointed out that the employment of college students is about to face a more severe "two-phase superposition" situation, and it is necessary to use unconventional policy "combination boxing" to hedge cyclical factors, alleviate structural factors and reduce friction factors.

Solution:

First, hedge cyclical factors with large-scale human capital-intensive public posts. At present, college students have become the largest first-time employment group in China. Compared with the traditional counter-cyclical employment policy of migrant workers, such as expanding infrastructure construction, we should provide "large-scale human capital-intensive public posts" for fresh graduates this year and next in combination with the goal of filling the shortcomings of economic and social development.

For example, public posts such as epidemiological investigators, community health assistants, scientific research assistants, and elderly health assessors are set up in grass-roots institutions such as communities, hospitals, universities, and scientific research institutions, and a sustainable employment mechanism is formed by continuously attracting more social capital into smart medical care, community management, and health care industries.

Second, the new economy-oriented "post-education system for college students" has eased the structural factors. New industries, new formats and new business models play an important supporting role in stabilizing China's employment market and are the key points to solve the employment difficulties of college students.

It is suggested that colleges and universities can explore the "post-education system for college students" oriented by the new economy, cooperate with leading enterprises in various fields, and carry out targeted vocational skills training and employment and entrepreneurship guidance in university education, second bachelor's degree education, and follow-up education for unemployed graduates.

Third, improve the quality and penetration of "cloud recruitment" and reduce friction factors. This year's college students' employment and recruitment in autumn and spring are coming soon. Whether the traditional large-scale on-site job fair can be held smoothly still faces uncertainties such as epidemic situation. The "cloud recruitment" platform with high penetration rate and high quality has increasingly become a key factor affecting the operation of the college students' employment market.
